[Asia Economy, reporter Lee Dongwoo] CJ Logistics announced on August 18 that CEO Kang Sinho participated in the Ministry of Environment's eco-friendly campaign, the "Go! Go! Challenge," which encourages reducing plastic use in daily life.

This challenge is a participatory SNS campaign launched by the Ministry of Environment in January with the goal of reducing unnecessary plastic use in everyday life. CEO Kang selected "Erase carbon footprints" as an action to avoid and "Leave green footprints" as an action to take, and posted a photo and message on the company's official SNS channels.

CEO Kang stated, "CJ Logistics is carrying out a variety of eco-friendly initiatives as part of our ESG management for a sustainable future. We have developed 100% recyclable paper packaging, established an eco-friendly smart packaging process, and became the first in the industry to introduce electric cargo trucks for deliveries."

He added, "Examples such as the 'ECO+ uniform for couriers' made by upcycling 28,000 discarded PET bottles, the 'Carbon ZERO pallet' made by recycling more than 10 tons of waste plastic, and the campaign to collect single-use plastic cups are all good cases of resource circulation through logistics. CJ Logistics will continue to take action to protect the planet."

CEO Kang joined the Go! Go! Challenge following a nomination from Ahn Jungho, CEO of Pan Ocean, who previously participated in the campaign. He then nominated Kim Yeonhee, Managing Partner at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), as the next participant.
